BYE BYE ROBOT LAUNCHES FIVE NEW STAR TREK™ POSTERS

By Crewman Becky | December 6, 2014 - 6:23 pm

Bye Bye, Robot has announced its launch of Five new officially licensed Star Trek posters...one poster for each of the live series. As with many of Bye Bye, Robot's previous posters, all of these new posters are printed on acid-free heavyweight coverstock that is thicker than normal paper...more akin to business card thickness. Further, the acid-free nature of the paper makes them archival. These five new prints were painted by four different artists; two returning artists, and two artists who are new to Bye Bye, Robot.

Seen above, is the Star Trek: Voyager inclusion. A new artist joining the Bye Bye, Robot team, Kevin Hopkins, presents his intricate 18”x24” ship portrait of the USS Voyager. This print entitled “The Long Way Home” features a vibrant ethereal illustration of space behind the ship, as it is in motion, during its singularly important mission. This colorful art print is the first Star Trek: Voyager artwork offered by Bye Bye, Robot. It will be joined, next year, by several others for the series’s 20th anniversary.

Thomas Ziffer is another new artist to the team, who’s incredibly detailed painting “Engage” of Star Trek: The Next Generation’s Captain Picard is a stunning example of his skill with Realism and the airbrush. This 16”x24” art print features opulent colors throughout the vast space background, the celestial bodies, the realistic portrait, and even the Enterprise-D. This captain’s portrait captures Picard’s likeness in striking detail, reminiscent of official nautical captain’s portraits of old.

Returning artist, Mark Brayer, unveils his new 16”x24”“Galileo Seven” print for collectors everywhere. This design, the fourth in his line of vintage ships, features the Galileo Sevenshuttlecraft from The Original Series episode of the same name. Utilizing his retro book-cover style, Mark gives the viewer a detailed rendering of the terrain found by the away mission’s crew after their emergency landing, as well as an up-close view of the planet’s confrontational inhabitants.

The other returning artist, Jeff Foster, offers up two new paintings to all Star Trek collectors. The first, “Uncharted Territory,” is a 16”x24” bold and colorful depiction of the Enterprise NX-01 in Jeff’s signature Modern Impressionist style. This ship, from Star Trek: Enterprise, is set against a rich rainbow background with detail and texture achieved through the use of a palette knife alone. His second print, “Defiant,” is a 16”x24” turquoise and violet portrayal of Deep Space Nine’s very own U.S.S. Defiant. This print shows the well-known ship in flight with the turbulence of the region represented in the paint strokes behind it.
